I have been waiting for a new Wendy Webb novel for a few years now, so I was thrilled to see this one. In a word, it's scary! A young woman, Norrie Harper, after being let go from her job as a reporter due to PTSD, is hired as the director of Cliffside Manor, a former TB sanatorium that is now an acclaimed artist's retreat. She had visited the manor as a reporter twenty years before, investigating the death of 2 of the dare family members. On the day of her arrival, her predecessor, the former director and last living member of the Dare family, is discovered dead, an apparent suicide, and things just get scarier and more mysterious from there.
This novel has a wonderful haunting atmosphere that will keep you feeling slightly uneasy. One of my friends, another Webb fan, stopped me and told me that she was SCARED reading this book. I would advise against picking it up on a dark night when you are home alone, but definitely read it!
